Would there be a way that someone (who has more technical expertise) could make a rom hack that would give the total number of frames in a run? I mean we already alow FCEUX automatic timer plugins right? Why not allow a rom hack like this if someone were to create it. It would make timing for everyone much easier, simply play the game, and when you touch the hammer at the end it gives you the frame count. Then it your self by 60.09881387708959. Boom, you have your seconds. Could a rom hack like this be made, and if so, could you use it in runs (after testing by mods).

No romhacks are allowed for runs of the game.
